Biddulph Grange Garden

"China" in the Biddulph Grange Garden

The garden was created by James Bateman in the 19th century and is now owned by the National Trust. There are several thematic gardens within the whole including this Chinese inspired one. Others include "Italy" and "Egypt" complete with yew tree clipped into a pyramid!(Canon EOS 60D, Tamron 10-24mm @ 11mm, 1/500s @ f/7.1)

About Me

I have been interested in photography since I was eleven years old when I got my first camera, a Box Brownie. I now use an Olympus OM-D mirrorless cmera and have most of my old cameras in a cabinet at home. As far as I know they all still work.
